Recommended: BIGVU Teleprompter
Step 2 — Set Your Phone
Place your phone at eye level and keep it completely stable. A shaky camera kills credibility instantly.
Recommended: Phone Tripod -Optional
Step 3 — Fix Your Lighting
Face a window for natural light, or position a ring light directly in front of you. Good lighting is the single biggest upgrade you can make.
Recommended: Ring Light
Step 4 — Fix Your Audio
Clip your mic near your collar for clean, clear sound. Record in a soft-furnished room to avoid echo and reverb.
Recommended: BOYA BY-M1 Lavalier Mic
Step 5 — Record
Look directly at the lens — not the screen. Speak naturally, as if talking to a friend. Don't overthink it. Your authenticity is your superpower.
Step 6 — Send Your Video
Once you're happy with your take, send the video file to us or upload it to the shared Google Drive folder. No need to edit — raw and real works just fine.

"Consistent content builds trust. Trust builds deals."
📌 A Note on the System
What we're building here is a systemized way to produce content consistently — same setup, same process, every time. That consistency is what builds momentum.
As you get more comfortable in front of the camera, you'll naturally start creating adhoc content too — videos that capture the moment, the listing, the vibe. That's the goal. But the system comes first.
